About the google_compute_region resource	gcp

Syntax

A google_compute_region is used to test a Google Region resource

Examples

describe google_compute_region(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', name: 'europe-west2') do
  it { should exist }
  it { should be_up }
  its('zone_names') { should include "#{gcp_location}-a" }
end

describe google_compute_region(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', name: 'notthere') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Test that a GCP compute region exists

  describe google_compute_region(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  region: 'europe-west2') do
    it { should exist }
  end

Test that a GCP compute region is in the expected state

  describe google_compute_region(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  region: 'europe-west2') do
    its('status') { should eq 'UP' }
    # or equivalently
    it { should be_up }
  end

Test a GCP compute region identifier

  describe google_compute_region(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  region: "asia-east1") do
    its('id') { should eq "1220" }
  end

Check that a region is associated with the expected zone fully qualified name

  describe google_compute_region(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  region: "asia-east1") do
    its('zones') { should include "https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/spaterson-project/zones/asia-east1-a" }
  end

Check that a region is associated with the expected zone short name

  describe google_compute_region(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  region: "asia-east1") do
    its('zone_names') { should include "asia-east1-a" }
  end

The zone_names property is also useful for subsequently looping over associated google_compute_zone resources. For example:

  google_compute_region(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  region: "asia-east1").zone_names.each do |zone_name|
    describe google_compute_zone(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp', name: zone_name) do
      it { should be_up }
    end
  end

Properties

Properties that can be accessed from the google_compute_region resource:

• creation_timestamp: Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

• deprecated: The deprecation state of this resource.

  • deleted: An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the deprecation state of this resource will be changed to DELETED.

  • deprecated: An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the deprecation state of this resource will be changed to DEPRECATED.

  • obsolete: An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the deprecation state of this resource will be changed to OBSOLETE.

  • replacement: The URL of the suggested replacement for a deprecated resource. The suggested replacement resource must be the same kind of resource as the deprecated resource.

  • state: The deprecation state of this resource. This can be DEPRECATED, OBSOLETE, or DELETED. Operations which create a new resource using a DEPRECATED resource will return successfully, but with a warning indicating the deprecated resource and recommending its replacement. Operations which use OBSOLETE or DELETED resources will be rejected and result in an error.

• description: An optional description of this resource.

• id: The unique identifier for the resource.

• name: Name of the resource.

• quotas: Quotas assigned to this region.

  • metric: Name of the quota metric.

  • limit: Quota limit for this metric.

  • usage: Current usage of this metric.

  • owner: Owning resource. This is the resource on which this quota is applied.

• status: Status of the region, either UP or DOWN.

• zones: List of zones within the region
